If you are disheartened by the cruelty and the insanity of the world you live in, you can make it better. It doesn’t take a lot to make the world a better place. All it takes is to adopt and take care of a cat or a dog, plant and tend to a garden, help an elderly person cross the street, bring groceries to a sick neighbor who can’t go outside, comfort someone who is in pain… The list is endless, the opportunities for you to bring love and care into the world full of cruelty and injustice through random acts of kindness are infinite, and you will always be able to find something that aligns with your natural inclinations.

You don’t need to become a political activist, a social justice warrior, a public intellectual, a media personality or run for office to make the world a better place. In fact, the world would be much better off if fewer people engaged in “fighting for justice” and more of them just fed the homeless or built more local parks for kids to play in, because, most of the time, the righteous indignation against injustice only serves the ego’s need for recognition and not the needs of those it claims to protect.

We tend to value and admire qualities like discipline, courage, grace, curiosity, independence, creativity and to believe that heroic and charismatic personalities are the saviors of humanity. But none of those inspirational qualities move the needle if they are not used in the service of compassion that resides in our heart. Moreover, If they are used in the service of the ego rather than in the service of the heart, they bring further destruction into the world.

If your heart is hardened and closed off, you are not capable of healing, growing and evolving no matter how many years you spend chanting, meditating and engaging in various spiritual practices, no matter how brave, charismatic and creative you may be.

If a sight of suffering doesn’t touch you and doesn’t compel you to take a compassionate action, you are wasting your time on this planet. Your discipline, courage, hard work and impressive achievements are useless if they haven’t made anyone, including yourself, feel loved and cared for.

The place in your heart that gives birth to compassion is your human essence, and the compassion it emanates is the only true love that exists. No other kind of love is real. Romantic love is nothing but a beautiful fantasy, and the universal love of all humanity is too ethereal and abstract to get a grasp of and to express in any real meaningful ways.

That place in your heart which gives birth to compassion and makes you a human is the Moon and the Crab is her zodiacal representation.

She is our primordial mother and primordial child at the same time. She is the creator of all life forms on our planet, and all life forms are her expressions. She is the embodiment of unconditional motherly love rooted in compassion and vulnerability of every living creature that needs care and protection. She gives us the need to nurture and be nurtured, to protect and be protected, to comfort and be comforted.

If your Moon is not alive in you, you are not alive. A heart that has not been loved and nurtured doesn’t know how to love and nurture. If you have not been loved, you feel unlovable and don’t know how to love yourself and others.

When you feel unlovable, you don’t have the necessary confidence to exercise the free will, which means that without the gentle, nurturing, protective Moon, the strong, powerful, confident Sun cannot emerge. Without the delicate, soft, introverted Crab the free-spirited, dignified, powerful Lion cannot come into existence. Loving and tender energies of the Moon create the conditions for confident, independent qualities of the Sun to come out and shine. The Moon is the beginning and the central point of our humanity, our spirituality and our very existence.

If you want to make the world a better place, stop wasting time and energy on hating and fighting those whom you see as a problem because those people and institutions and the entire social order are not the real problem, the are just the symptoms of the problem. The real problem is that we are disconnected from our hearts, each one of us individually and all of us collectively. And, the only solution to this problem is for you to connect to your own heart where your compassion resides and act from that place to make someone feel loved and cared for.

Caring for a little, sweet and vulnerable kitten will help initiate the heart connection that would make you and everything around you more alive. That little kitten will become your heart’s keeper, and, as long as your heart is kept alive, open and motivated to do random acts of kindness, your life will have meaning and will not be wasted no matter what happens in the world around you.

EXPRESS YOUR GENIUS https://crabvoice.com/express-your-genius/ https://crabvoice.com/express-your-genius/#respond Sun, 22 Aug 2021 15:58:33 +0000 https://crabvoice.com/?p=131

Nature is perfect. It brings everything at the right time. Just after the days of the Lion’s Gate Portal, we are moving into the energy of the Full Moon in Aquarius on August the 22d, which, coincidentally, is also the day of transition from the Leo to the Virgo season.

The days of the Full Moon, in general, are the days when you have an opportunity to become conscious of something. The Full Moon shines brightly in the sky because it reflects the light of the Sun and lights up the area in the sky where it sits. At its brightest and fullest phase, the Moon shows us where and how the Light of the Sun a.k.a the Light of Consciousness can be received and expressed on Earth.

During the Leo season, and especially during the Lion’s Gate New Moon, the Sun shed light on your true nature and showed you who you truly are – a free spirit and a sovereign being with no authority above you.

Now, the Full Moon in Aquarius, compels you to express your free spirit through original and unconventional ideas that would benefit your community and the bigger society.

Aquarius is the opposite of Leo. While the Lion is a free spirit, an Aquarian being is a free thinker. The free spirit that the Sun brings forward in Leo then gets brought down to earth by the Moon in Aquarius and expresses itself as a radical original, often revolutionary, idea unrestricted by any set of beliefs or societal standards.

Aquarius is a sign of community and the collective good, as well as radical individuality . It challenges us to integrate the needs of the individual and the needs of the collective, because it knows that neither side of that duality can exist without its opposite. It knows that the only way to ensure individual freedom and well-being of each person is to create a radically democratic society based on humanitarian values, and the only way to create such society is to respect personal freedoms of each individual and to encourage individual expression.

An Aquarian being is a personification of a genius because their ideas are outside of the box and they blow people’s minds before they get implemented on a massive scale and become a normal part of our life.

Just like the Lion doesn’t care if anyone likes him, an Aquarian being doesn’t care if anyone likes their ideas. They dismiss all criticism and scoff at critics. They present their ideas boldly and unapologetically and push for their implementation aggressively.

The Aquarian genius is responsible for all scientific and technological advances of the modern era, from the discovery of electricity to the creation of Internet, from producing antibiotics and vaccines to the invention of hydroponics and biotechnology, from greenhouses to GMO products.

Sometimes the Aquarian genius can be evil because it is emotionally detached and doesn’t always see how its inventions may affect people on the emotional and spiritual levels. But it doesn’t have to be evil. A highly conscious Aquarian being is a humanitarian. They may not be emotionally attached to other humans, but they have an enlightened vision of how to make life on our planet more humane. That is why the Aquarian impulse has been behind every major revolution and social justice movement in the modern era.

This Aquarian Full Moon invites you to embrace the energy of a free thinker, whose mind is not restricted by social norms, traditions and opinions of others. If you want to have a meaningful life and create something of real value on this planet, every now and then you have to free your mind from stereotypical thinking patterns imposed on you by the society, and when you do that, you’ll be surprised how many interesting, original ideas will come to you. Every time you allow yourself to think outside of societal norms and restrictions, your Aquarian genius will be unleashed. Let it come out and use it for good, your own and the collective.

FIND YOUR LION AND YOUR CORONA https://crabvoice.com/find-your-lion-and-your-corona/ https://crabvoice.com/find-your-lion-and-your-corona/#respond Wed, 11 Aug 2021 04:54:30 +0000 https://crabvoice.com/?p=97

This time from late July to mid-August is the peak of summer. In ancient times, those days were called the “dog days” because the Dog Star, which we know today as Sirius, rises on the horizon at this time of the year.

Those days were not considered auspicious by the ancients. The heat gets unbearable and the sunlight is most intense. The deadly heat often brings fires and droughts. But the “dog days” of summer are not here just to torture you with deadly heat and natural disasters. They also bring a very potent spiritual energy to earth that can benefit you immensely if you use it consciously and that is the energy of the cosmic Lion.

The Lion is here at this time of the year to wake you up to your true nature so you could claim what is rightfully yours: freedom, sovereignty and power. The Lion is here to remind you that you are a sovereign being and there is no authority above you. You make decisions according to your own guidance system and no one tells you what to do.

The Lion is fierce and fearless. He will not sacrifice his freedom for safety and approval of others. He doesn’t need anyone to validate him. He knows who he is and no one’s opinion will change what he knows. He speaks his truth and lives his truth with no regard to how this makes anyone feel. The only beings he surrounds himself with are other lions who, like himself, are free spirits, who respect his sovereignty and whose sovereignty he respects.

At this time, when fear has paralyzed so many people on the planet and shut down their ability to think for themselves, the fierceness of the Lion is needed like never before. At this time, when a microscopic creature has been crowned and treated like a powerful royalty, let the Lion remind you who is the real King. It is you. Therefore, “Corona” (the Crown) belongs to you, not to the microscopic imposter.

At this time, like never before, claiming your spiritual sovereignty is the only thing that will give you a chance to live with dignity and self-respect. Drop your fear of rejection and abandonment and speak your truth unapologetically. If your friends reject you for speaking your mind and following your heart, they weren’t your friends to begin with. If the rejection comes from family, it means that their love was conditional upon you being compliant with their demands, which is not love.

Allow your Lion to come forward and roar more and more each day. Say things you are afraid to say and do things you are afraid to do as much as you can. This will feel scary and uncomfortable in the beginning, but it will make you stronger and happier in the long run. So, don’t wait. Do it now.
